The engineering schematic

Fun find this afternoon: In 1957, the Port Authority did the engineering work to link the downtown PATH to the Lexington Avenue subway local tracks.

there are altogether too many quotable paragraphs in this must-read article but i think i can restrain myself to just this one

medusaglare › Artemis I| 7h @ Threads i thought i stopped caring about space. turns out I was just sick of SpaceX, not NASA. • 18.3K Q145 G807ł → 143

Speaking of Threads, this one got me in the feels.

My interest in current day spaceflight plummeted for the last year or so, but Artemis II reignited that in a very emotional way.

This says it all. There was always so much blind worshipping of SpaceX and ignoring other companies as well as NASA. I gave up for a while.

Time to refocus on good stuff

A series of three tweets: Rabbi Akiva Weisinger @MisfitTorah 1) For those wondering why I, an Orthodox Rabbi, am outraged by the Texas trans law, aren't I supposed to stand up for Torah Values or whatever A thread: 2) I don't like it when kids kill themselves. 3) End of thread.

Just going to leave this here.

How are you less popular than a whole pedophile? The entire comms team would be getting fired.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Also, non-Black people, this is the part where you realize your No Kings parades need to be upgraded to rioting. Thanks.

Even MLK, the man y’all cherry pick the most, knew that violence becomes the answer when all other methods of resistance bear no fruit.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

👴🏻"BlueSky isn't fun anymore, because I can't make poverty jokes about Africa without Africans telling me that my jokes aren't funny!🤡"

Too bad.

Being disrespectful to Black people on BlueSky ran all the gentle Black people off. Now you're left with me.

Tapping the sign

Despite being a crazy windy day (and using thin cardboard) my sign survived and the message was received. #nokings

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit. Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks! Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you. No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset. It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast. Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

This is why everything you like has gotten worse. Your favorite restaurant closed? Landlords. Your friends are too busy to hang out? Landlords. Your TV has ads? Believe it or not, in a roundabout way, landlords.

They already half stepped my dream of Fizzy/Inkjet Splat Dualies and I don't feel like the Brellas are gonna see the promised land lol

Man, can they finally reveal 3rd kits for the remaining weapons in S3 so I can cope about not getting Fizzy/Rain Decav by at least lacing the universe with Burst Bomb/Tri Strike Grim Range Blaster?

Revolutionary optimism is the disciplined confidence that because trans lives are forced to invent ways of surviving capitalism, we also possess the skills needed to abolish it.

Despair only serves existing power structures.

Collective struggle for total intersectional liberation now. ⚧️
